Prosecco hills itinerary driving an Aston Martin DB11 Volante

Italy is a country with a thousand-year history, the cradle of the Renaissance, the home of art, design and fashion, but also good food and good wine. Just consider that the beautiful country has more than 150 wine routes, or particular itineraries in the name of tastings and landscapes to admire, designed to enhance the lands of the best Italian wines. Let's start together to discover the Treviso hills and their sparkling wine aboard the Aston Martin Volante DB11, an icon of prestige and refinement, along a path dotted with fairy-tale villages, castles, ancient abbeys and lush hills.

Prosecco hills tour on the Aston Martin DB11 Volante, between bubbles and ancient villages

The province of Treviso, in Veneto, is home to the oldest wine road in Italy which from Valdobbiadene to Conegliano draws a Prosecco hills itinerary that will leave you breathless. This area has been declared a World Heritage Site and its gentle hills are covered with vineyards that produce Prosecco each year, whose fame has gone around the world.

Set off to discover these lands and let yourself be transported by your rental Aston Martin Volante DB11, through a 90-kilometre itinerary. Lose yourself in the evocative views and explore the small villages, discover the secrets of their cuisine and their centuries-old traditions, and visit the cellars and vineyards that you thought you could only see in postcards.

The Prosecco hills tour will take you to admire a particular terracing system which, thanks to soil conservation techniques and peculiar grapes, characterizes one of the most picturesque and productive wine-growing areas in the world.

You can start from Valdobbiadene with your Aston Martin DB11 Volante and follow one of the recommended routes that will take you to Conegliano. Among the main points of interest we recommend:

• The historic centre of Valdobbiadene, with a visit to the Town Hall, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and its eighteenth-century bell tower;
• Villa Dei Cedri, the enchanting nineteenth-century villa surrounded by a sumptuous park that today hosts cultural events and exhibitions;
• The Molinetto Della Croda di Refrontolo, set in the stone, one of the few still functioning, which continues to grind corn flour as it did already in 1600 and inside it reconstructs the history of the Venetian peasant world;
• The Cartizze hill, where a particular combination of soil and microclimate generates the finest of the types of Prosecco;
• Collalbrigo and San Pietro di Feletto, for their unforgettable views;
• Rolle, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, surrounded by the Prosecco vineyards;

The last unmissable stop on this Prosecco hills tour is Conegliano, to be reached aboard your rented Aston Martin Volante DB11. Here, between a visit to the Duomo and one to the Cerletti Institute (the oldest oenological school in Italy) do not forget to go up to the Rocca to admire the view of the hill ranges that follow one after the other starting from the plain and reaching the Prealps.

Along the way from Valdobbiadene, the productive heart of the wine area, to Conegliano, with its numerous institutes related to wine, you can find many wineries where you can taste the wine and the gastronomic specialities of these lands such as meat on the spit, cheeses, salami and mushrooms, for a sensory experience that you will hardly forget.
